ATTORNEY PATRICK H. O'DONNELL.
Mr. O'Donnoll announced his candi
dacy to fill the office of Maclay Hoyno
when his term of office expires by send
ing a letter to the leading Republicans
of Cook County and stated his platform,
which is as follows:
(1) I will send convicts behind prison
walls and will not send them to live in
luxury in hotels of the City as public
expense.
(2) I will seek to recover back into
the County Treasury the half million of
dollars that has been voted out during
the last few years to privato detective
agencies, private individuals and hotel
keepers for investigations of cases that
Stirred the political waters this week from fore to ait by throwing his fighting hat
in the ring for State's Attorney in 1920.
have failed in nearly every instance,
ami to support witnesses that juries
have refused to believe, and I shall hold
as liable to the County the officers who
have illegally voted that money out of
the County Treasury.
(3) I shall return to tho practice
heretofore followed by all States At
torneys by not employing any private
detectives, spies, wire tappers or well
known criminals as adjuncts to the ad
ministration of tho criminal law and
the jurification of Cook County.
(4) I shall nolle no cases without
first laying the facts beforo tho trial
judge and getting his consent thereto
and shall strike off none as there is no
warrant for it in law and the persons
so held are never released, but are un
der pressure to do tho bidding of the
prosecuting power at primaries and
elections to the corruption of the bal
lot box.
(5) I shall not countenance, but shall
oppose the constant blame upon the
Chicago police force who make 70,000
arrests while fewer than 300 of thos
arrested by them are sent to Joliet and
I shall so fend them that they shall
have at least as good a standing befora
the community while engaged in their
hazardous occupation as the numberless
criminals that they are trying to suppress.
Incumbent.
Two candidates have entered the race
at tho primaries against Alderman Jo
seph Higgins Smith in the Fourteenth
Ward, but as Alderman Smith has made
a splendid record in tho City Council in
tho past four years ho will bo renomi
nated and re-elected to that body with
both hands down.
Michael G. Walsh, who has proven
himself to be one of the very best dep
uty coroners Cook County has ever had
and who has thousands of friends
among all classes of his fellow citizens
in all parts of this city, is headed or
slated to win the Republican nomina
tion for alderman of tho Thirtieth
Ward.
This week the Charles 8. Deneen Col
ored Eepabliean Club, which holds forth
in tho Second Ward under tho leader
ship of Lawyer Augustus L. Williams,
held a meeting at 3158 Forest avenue,
and before it wound up it fell in lino for
Major Bobert B. Jackson for alderman
of that ward.
As stated in another column of this
paper that Bev. W. 8. Braddan has ar
rived home from Camp Logan, Houston,
Texas, and this coming Sunday after
noon, Feb. 10, he will address the meet
ing a Odd Fellows Hall, 3335 South
State street, in favor of the re-election
of former alderman, Oscar DcPriest, to
the City Council from the Second Ward.
The thing that caused the greatest
ommotion among the politicians and the
would-be politicians this week was the
announcement of Attorney Patrick H.
O'DonneU for State's Attorney of
Cook County in 1920. Mr. O'DonneU
understands everything in connection
mm u (mbco j-rum jx. w ti ua no i
would be tho right man in the right
place. Bead his platform in another
column of this paper.

INFANTRY AND PASTOR OF BE

who is still serving it as chaplain, has
